" CARBURETER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Ton/,ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, WILBUR DANIEL LA- NARD, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing in the city of Clementon, county of Camden, State off New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Carbureter, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention consists of a novel construction and relation of thevarious parts of a mixing-chamber for mixing air and the vapor of avolatile liquid.

Figure l is a vertical section through the axis of the mixing-chamber.Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the same. Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view.Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the sprayer which I preferably use.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in thefigures.

Referring to the drawings, I designates a chamber, here shown as ofcylindrical form, having the cap J, upon which chamber and cap areformed projecting cylindrical bosses open to the interior of thecylinder and in which are secured connecting pipes or tubes A, C, F, G,and H. The opening between the interior O of the cylinder or mixer andconnection A is reduced at M and lies below the top of the cylindricalextension N of the sprayer L. This sprayer is preferably flanged and isinserted within an opening at the bottom of said cylinder from theinside thereof. The cylindrical extension is perforated at its base by aseries of holes K and surrounds the conical mouthpiece or nozzle E,through which air is introduced under pressure.

In operation the pipe A is connected to a reservoir otherwise closedair-.tight and supplied with the desired liquid. The liquid ilows slowlythrough opening M, the volume being replaced by air through the sameopening, as will be apparent, until the level B B is attained. Shouldany excess of liquid be withdrawn from the reservoir, it can escapethrough the aperture at C when a cock C is opened. Air is introducedunder pressure through pipes F and G, furnishing the requisite supplyfor the desired mixture of gas and air and assisting in thevolatilization of the liquid by its passage through the same within thecylindrical extension N. The mixture thus formed passes through the pipeH to a reservoir or point of use. As the level of the liquid falls belowB B air is admitted to the liquid-reservoir and a further supply ofliquid withdrawn therefrom, bringing the level again to B B.

It will be evident that various changes may be made by those skilled inthe art Which will come Within the scope of my invention, and I do not,therefore, desire to be limited in every instance to the exactconstruction herein shown and described.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

l. A chamber having a cap upon which are formed apertured projections,an apertured projection upon the side of the chamber, av

flanged nozzle provided with a conical proj ection and a cylindricalextension surrounding said conical projection and provided with aplurality of apertures near the base of said extension, said nozzlebeing insertible within the bottom of said chamber.

2. The combination in a carbureter of a chamber, upon the top, bottomand sides of which are formed apertured projections, and

a flanged nozzle having a conical projection and a cylindrical extensionfrom said lnozzle surrounding said conical projection and provided witha plurality of apertures near the base of said extension, said sertiblein the bottom of said chamber from within.

3. A carbureter-reservoir for a gas-producer comprising a chamber havingapertures at the top, bottom and sides thereof, a flanged nozzleinsertible within said bottom aperture from the inside thereof andprovided with a conical projection and a cylindrical extension from saidnozzle surrounding said conical projection and provided with a pluralityof apertures near the base of said extension.
